In
2001, the United States undertook a number of law enforcement actions
targeted against the Antiguan online gambling industry. These actions
included cutting off credit cards, threatening advertisers, and continuing
criminal cases against licensed and regulated Antiguan operators.
The United States' enforcement activities, which were in violation
of the United States' GATS commitments, caused massive harm to the
Antiguan online gambling industry, as reflected above.
